Wow, Krut. Your pictures just helped Laser Blue push to the lead again for my color of choice on my '08 MCS. Beautiful car. Did you get the LSD or Sport Suspension?
That LB is a gorgeous shade ! Yep, that R56 is growing on me. That checkered dash and door insert is enough to make me want to visit the configurator !
Ok, so you got the sport suspension, and LSD, and you got them on 16" wheels. Is this because you are a fiercely independent thinker unaffected by popular thinking man after my own heart, or is it because you plan on aftermarket wheels and tires...!

A little bit of both - I didn't like any of the MINI wheels save for the anthracite R99s and I didn't want to fork out $2,000 - so I wavered between bridge spokes and s-windups - liking neither very much but I've also had S-heavies (s-lites) on every MINI Cooper S I've owned.
I think I am in the same boat. The only OEM wheel I really love is the R99s and they are way overpriced - you can get comparable for less aftermarket. So I choose the bridge spokes.
Oh my, it sure does! When you're looking at it up close it seems so much bigger...and rounder, too. The roundness I think might help aerodynamics a bit, and in the end (no pun intended) when I step back and look at the rear of the car (from the side or directly from the back) it looks super. Freaks me out every time, but is does look proper to the car...so much so that I don't worry about it any more (in spite of still looking big(ger) up close).
